THE PATIENT VOICE IN TREATMENT DECISIONS
“When people use decision aids, they
improve their knowledge of the options
and feel better informed and more clear
about what matters most to them.
People who use decision aids may
achieve decisions that are consistent
with their informed values. Decision
aids do not worsen health outcomes,
and people using them are not less
satisfied.”
